'Joy Of A Toy' is the debut solo-album by the bassist and principal songwriter of the Soft Machine, originally released in 1969. With Ayers playing an impressive list of instruments and bandmate Robert Wyatt on drums for most of the songs, many of the tracks recall early Soft Machine, and feature Ayers prog-pop songwriting sensibilities in full force. This limited edition reissue comes on OPAQUE YELLOW VINYL and is packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket.
